November 7 Bash the Trash grades K 5. Show times: 8:30 9:20 grades 3 5, 9:30 10:20 grades K
2.
Bash
the Trash is a witty, educational and interactive program of music, recycling,
science and trash. Using instruments
built from found objects, the three Bash the Trash performers demonstrate the
science of sound (acoustics) with weird instruments such as the Bendjo, Singing
Bowl, Strawmbone and the Balloon Flute.
The safe use of materials is emphasized as students discover how to make
simple instruments.
February 13 Shakespeare LIVE! A Midsummer Nights Dream grades 3 5
only. Show time: 1:00 2:00pm.
Shakespeare
LIVE, the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jerseys most effective and far-reaching
education program, will present a visually dynamic abridged production of A
Midsummer Nights Dream.
A
Family Album is a hilariously playful yet poignant talk about growing up. The startling life sized soft sculptures
worn by Susanmarie and student volunteers are used to illustrate a variety of
important lessons-learning to be a good friend, tempering romance with wisdom,
the importance of self reliance, using your own uniqueness to build self
esteem, and how to be happy and proud of yourself.
